MONTREAL - A global deal to curb carbon emissions from flying will take center stage when the U.N. aviation agency’s triennial assembly opens on Tuesday in Montreal under the shadow of protests led by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg later in the week.
The plan, known as the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation and the first of its kind for a single industry, is a medium-term scheme to help airlines avoid adding to their net emissions from 2020. Thunberg, the teenage climate activist who admonished world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly in New York for failing to protect the environment, will lead a street protest in Montreal on Friday.
